Mailbag: Don't Give Dan A Slingshot

@hirkz: he is one

Oh my god! Ping Pong Club!

You should definitely watch that, Dan.

Haha Dan with that sling shot was great. Love that he is one of the few who does his own thing.

Seeing Dan get treated like an actual child by his colleagues is both perfect and deeply cringeworthy

Dan looking buff AND swole.

@hirkz: That's because he is one.

@awkwardloser: To be clear, Dan is nowhere near woke so that's not the reason he dislikes Harley Quinn.

I laughed so fucking hard when Vinny pulled out those chucks

Is everyone commenting here a molly-coddling mom? He had a completely unaerodynamic lightweight bendy/squishy object on a slingshot that was barely pulled back. In the unlikely event that he did slip the worst that would have happened would be a slight graze that would heal overnight.

Sling shots with wrist braces are illegal in NY.

Oh my god I was screaming when Dan tried to tear the packaging on the pogs. Thank you Vinny stepping in and for saving my sanity.

fire Dan.

Dan is now a certified law breaker.

I love that within 60 seconds of Dan receiving a slingshot, they had to lecture Dan about the dangers of a slingshot.

I don't understand Dan. When I see or hear him on non-GB content, he is calm, articulate and thoughtful. Look up his appearance on Nikki Glaser's Sirius XM radio show back in June. He's a different person.

@eazeapeazea: Yeah, it's amazing. It's almost like he's playing it up for the camera.

Cheer up Dan. You got yourself some might fine anime. I hope he watches Samurai Champloo, gets Jeff to check it out, and talks about it on the podcast!

That's the Dini-Timm who created the character and did her right.

None of you should have that slingshot. I'm pretty sure they're illegal in New York.

Remember when HR took Drew's bow and arrows?

Christ, Dan._.

Geez, the overreaction to the slingshot is annoying.

I can't blame Dan, my immediate reaction would've been to start shooting packing peanuts at people.

And so we finally find out who would be el presidente Jeff's executioner who would carry the might murderslingshot(tm). Knowing it would be Dan wielding this mighty weapon, i also rescind my endorsement for Jeff's campaign.

my only questions: "WHAT IS UP WHIT ALL THE NUNCHUCKS‽"

I love how as soon as Dan had that wrist-rocket in his hands, the entire room erupted like a toddler just grabbed a loaded gun.

"No, sweetie that's a big person thing. You mustn't pick it up, or you could hurt yourself. Okay, put it down. NO! Hand it to momma!" And, what does Dan do? Well, he grasps his prize to his chest harder.

They're just adorable at that age - 34.

"We're all adults here"

Are you Dan?

Dan is a better man than I am. That office would have been a John Woo movie filled with packing peanuts as soon as the first condescending word was uttered.

Haven't watched this mailbag yet but I thought you were talking about this Ping Pong anime at first. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_Pong_(manga)

Got some real '50s detective vibes from Alex while he was trying the candy, so here's a shitty photoshop:

I was so happy to see Jeff Bakalar on a mailbag. They got a bunch of cool stuff

Please do not let Dan be in charge of these anymore. He doesn't know how to open plastic packaging (or any packaging, judging by the Goku box incident) and is extremely careless with that slingshot in a very small room. Someone else can open the boxes and pass Dan what has been deemed safe for him to use.

Also please give Abby some stuff. She really wanted those monsters thingies and Dan was like an only child at a family Christmas.

Jeez guys, it's adult supervision recommended, not required.

I don't think I could handle the ceaseless condescension that Dan is subject to, man.

Dan certainly knows how to stir the recesses of my minds eye and conjure memories of the past of kids and their behaviour who bothered me growing up. Be it my own cringe worthy, selfish actions or those of kids my age back then, Dan has some talent to make it all come flooding back.

I tried buying a slingshot just like the one in the video, and they wouldn't let me buy it because I had to be 18 years of age to do so. So yeah, they're actually used for hunting squirrels. Anyways, my mom bought it for me and I used it to shoot plastic bb's, which was fun?

Hahahah this was hilarious. I really love Dan as the engine of chaos and the rest of the crew as the vexed adults.

@tbanksiv:

I literally picked up the hot Nancy Drew for Abby and the Dark Souls cause I though it looked cool, then the next episode Alex said something about liking Dark Souls lore so there ya go.

Samurai Champloo is a great anime, very "cool-guy" and not pervy at all.

Yeah totally, the worst that could have happened is that Dan INJURES A COWORKER.

Jeff "I'm not sure but I'll feed it to my child" Bakalar.

i am bananas about abby's blanket
